The 1970s jazz-fusion supergroup Return to Forever is reuniting this summer for an extended tour of the United States and Europe that will include a concert at St. Louis' Fox Theatre on Tuesday, June 17.The tour reunites the band's best-known lineup - founding members Chick Corea on keyboards and Stanley Clarke on bass (pictured), plus guitarist Al DiMeola and drummer Lenny White - for the first time in more than 25 years. The quartet will play more than 50 dates from May through August, including performances at major summer jazz festivals in Montreal; Montreux, Switzerland; San Sebastian, Spain; Nice, France; and Saratoga Springs, New York.
RTF also are releasing a double-CD anthology to coincide with the tour featuring remixed and remastered tracks from the band's albums originally recorded from 1973 through 1976, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, Where Have I Known You Before, the Grammy-winning No Mystery and Romantic Warrior.
There's been no announcement yet about tickets for Return to Forever's St. Louis date, but StLJN will have more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can fire up the embedded video window below to enjoy a vintage clip of Return to Forever playing "Romantic Warrior" back in 1976 for the British television program The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Edited 3/25/08 to correct the date of the show in the headline and text.
